- wif2hex() -> parse_wif()
- reimplement both methods using bytes instead of hex strings
- fix bug with zcash-t preprocess_key() failing to call base class method,
causing crash with edge-case privkeys
- Create a wallet of any MMGen-supported format by inputting rolls of a die
interactively at the keyboard.
Testing:
$ test/test.py -e input
Examples:
Create a default MMGen wallet from interactive die rolls:
$ mmgen-walletconv -i dieroll
Create a BIP39 mnemonic seed phrase from interactive die rolls, outputting
to screen without prompting:
$ mmgen-walletconv -Sq -i dieroll -o bip39
- Permits the creation of wallets by repeated rolls of a die: 50 rolls for
128-bit, 75 for 192-bit, and 100 for 256-bit seeds. The base6d format
uses the digits from one to six, so that user doesn't have to subtract
one from each roll.
Testing:
$ test/unit_tests.py baseconv
$ test/test.py ref3 conv
Example:
NOTE: when creating a real wallet, the following steps must be performed in a
secure offline environment, and preferably with the use of a text editor and
a file written in volatile memory (e.g. /dev/shm), rather than the `echo`
command. A more private and user-friendly data input method will be provided
in a forthcoming patch.
Sample 128-bit data obtained by rolling a die 50 times and entering each roll
on the keyboard as a digit:
15146 56446 53415 45431 55141 32115 41325 16311 32553 43533
Here spaces have been added for greater readability. Newlines are also
permitted.
Save the data in a file with the extension .b6d:
$ echo 15146 56446 53415 45431 55141 32115 41325 16311 32553 43533 > myseed.b6d
Convert to MMGen's default wallet format:
$ mmgen-walletconv -o wallet myseed.b6d
Convert the wallet back to base6d:
$ mmgen-walletconv -o dieroll FE3C6545*.mmdat
Base6d die roll seed data written to file 'FE3C6545[128].b6d'
$ cat 'FE3C6545[128].b6d'
15146 56446 53415 45431 55141
32115 41325 16311 32553 43533
